Question

I am trying to join a plf path to build location using the below code but i notice that the plf name is being overwritten on the build location ,please see below fore details,what am I missing here?

rPlf = os.path.join(buildLocation,'au_connect_build.plf')
    print rPlf
    print rPlf

Actual output:-

rPlf
\au_connect_build.plfNTEGRATION\M1234BAAAANAA120080.1

Expected output:-

 \\Location\builds435\INTEGRATION\M1234BAAAANAA120080.1\au_connect_build.plf

buildLocation contains an \r character – run print repr(rPlf) and you’ll see what is happening. You can fix that with:

buildLocation = buildLocation.strip('\r')
